Mutewatch is a Swedish company based in Stockholm who have designed a simple, intuitive watch that, at first glance, doesn’t even look like a watch at all. The sleek, plain bracelet-like design doesn’t function until you tap the flat surface. An LED touchscreen will then light up and you can swipe through its different functions: clock, alarm, and timer. Easily set the time by tapping the digits. In addition, it has a motion sensor to adjust its vibration to your movement.MUTEWATCH
Competition board done (unless any of you have a little advice). Still have to write up some things, print, and organize files to e-mail, but then I’ll be done with architecture stuff (minus work) until school starts! Click to read if you so care to :) and I promise not to bug you people with this (unless I get an award of course).
Context render one. Pretty much done.
HELP PLEASE
Okay so I’m working on a urban furniture design competition that I need to finish in a few days. In short my project is 2 pieces: the bench, and the back of the bench that can convert to a table, and it’s for the city of Seoul. The idea is the these pieces transform themselves and can lower into the ground to transform their environment/space. They can be used in a market setting, lunch break, regular bench, be lowered for high density events (ie. concerts), etc.
So my question is does anyone have recommendations about colors and rendering techniques. The materials I decided on were colored fiber glass, wood(bench back/table top), and metal (moving parts) Its hard to figure out everything completely solo so help would be appreciated. Thoughts please?
